Abstract

Thirteen unsaturated sterols were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using serially-coupled capillary columns from the filamentous nitrogen-fixing terrestrial cyanobacterium Scytonema sp. isolated from the microbial community of cyanobacterial on 'Black Cover' biofilms limestone walls in Jerusalem. The dominant sterols were cholest-5-en-3β-ol (18.9%), 3β-methoxycholest-5-ene (16.2%) and 3β-acetoxycholest-5-ene (11.2%).
